Chapter 473: Defending the Home and Country (2)

"Put!"

The scattered bullets fired by one hundred and forty-four Huzun cannons were like a wall, crashing towards the soldiers and horses of the Han army's Zhengbai Banner, and at the forefront were more than 3,000 firecrackers under Shi Tingzhu, and only this round of salvo shots killed nearly 2,000 people!

Shi Tingzhu's eyes widened, and before he could fire, the firecracker he had worked so hard to train was bombarded by Liu Yan's artillery fire.

The Han army behind was fighting hand-to-hand with the white flag, and at this time the morale of the army also collapsed, and a large number of routs began to flee backwards, and Shi Tingzhu slashed a few people with a knife, but he still couldn't stop the momentum of the collapse of the army.

Rumble!

The Huzun cannon is loaded quickly, the firing range is about one mile, it is a sharp weapon to kill the enemy at close range, at this time the second round of salvo fire arrived, and instantly swept down a large number of Han army soldiers with white flags, and those traitor soldiers were like wheat seedlings harvested in autumn, harvested by batches.

Shi Tingzhu saw that the defeat of the army was decided at this time, and he was the first to be defeated by the army, and after he went back, he would definitely be severely punished by Huang Taiji, and he had no idea for a while.

Just when Shi Tingzhu lost his mind, the new army artillery battalion Huzun Cannon began the third round of salvo, and the dense scattered bombs directly penetrated the crowd, at least a dozen large and small scattered bullets hit Shi Tingzhu's body on the face, and immediately beat this traitor to the flesh and blood, and an ugly head was knocked away, directly smashed on the rout who fled next to him, and smashed the rout to death, and was immediately trampled to death by many deserters.

"Fire!"

Qian Liang roared loudly, and the artillery battalion of the new army continued to engage in artillery battles with the banners of the Han army, and with accurate salvos and a sufficient number of artillery, the artillery battalion of the new army was stable

Steadily suppressed the enemy army and caused huge casualties to the banners of the Han army.

In the middle of the Qing army, Huang Taiji looked at the soldiers and horses of the Han army who had fled with white flags, and saw that Shi Tingzhu's battle flag had fallen, and his face did not change, but he said indifferently: "Order the second formation of the Han army flag to press up!" ”

"Huh!"

Soon the Han army's two yellow flags and the red flag soldiers and horses began to advance rapidly, Kong Youde led the Han army's red flag soldiers and horses to fill the position of the white flag, but it was blocked by thousands of routs, and the army was impulsive by those desperately fleeing, so angry that Kong Youde directly ordered the firecrackers to fire, and shot the rout of the Han army's white flag in front of the formation.

By the time Kong Youde led his troops to clear the road ahead, Geng Zhongming's Han army's Zhenghuang Banner and Ma Guangyuan's Han Army's Yellow Flag had already converged with the two blue flags of the Han army, and the artillery of the four banners concentrated on bombarding the artillery camp of the new army, and the firepower of the Qing army increased instantly.

"Bastard!"

At this time, shells continued to fall everywhere in the artillery camp of the new army, even if there were a large number of earth-wheeled vehicles in front of the artillery camp, but the Qing army concentrated more than 200 artillery pieces of the five banners of the Han army, aimed at the concentrated bombardment here, and those earth-wheeled vehicles were difficult to block all the shells.

On the right side of Qian Qiao, a cannonball directly broke the wheel of a dirt cart, and the earth cart collapsed with a bang, and the flying wooden spikes directly hit the two gunners next to him.

Another shell landed on the ground and ricocheted, flew diagonally for a while, hit one gunner's head, then changed direction, hit another gunner's chest, and was embedded directly in the gunner's body.

At this time, there was also chaos on the position of the artillery battalion of the new army, but with the Han army under various flags

Compared with the artillery team, the firepower on this side can still maintain output, and it still has a certain advantage in counter-fire.

In the new army, Liu Yan also held a clairvoyant mirror, his face was a little ugly, the tenacity of the Qing army exceeded his expectations, even the various departments of the Han army banner were able to conduct a long-term artillery battle with their own artillery battalion, which was enough to show that Huang Taiji was ready to fight hard.

"Huang Taiji, this wild boar skin, wants to inflict heavy damage on our army, and then continue to march into Beijing City?"

Liu Yan sneered, and at this time, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Xun Jingyun around him also held clairvoyant mirrors to observe the movements of the enemy, and then Xu Ming said: "Governor, let the cavalry battalion rush, the pressure on the side of the artillery battalion is too great!" ”

Liu Yan did not speak.

Xun Jingyun also said: "Those are the two Tartars of the Han army flags, even if they are all killed, they will not hurt the muscles and bones for the Qing army, and they should still concentrate their firepower to kill and injure the banners of Manchuria." Governor, let the cavalry battalion rush, and defeat the banners of the Han army as soon as possible, so as to leave the firepower of the artillery battalion. ”

Liu Yan said at this time: "The cavalry battalion can't move for the time being!" ”

"The Qing army has sufficient troops, and Huang Taiji has more cards in his hand than me, so I have to use the least number of cards to win more cards in Huang Taiji's hand, and I can't be impulsive!"

At this time, Miao Shao also said: "Governor, my subordinates are worried that the damage to the artillery battalion will be too great!" ”

Liu Yan said: "This battle is a decisive battle, and the casualties are certain, but no matter how big the casualties are, we must hold on." This artillery battle not only had to crush the banners of the Han army, but also to strike at the hearts of the banners of Manchuria, so that those Tartars knew that in the face of our army's firepower, there was no chance of victory! ”

Liu Yan's side is firmly determined to shoot to the end, and Huang Taiji's side

There are variables.

Dolgon and Duoduo sent people to come one after another, asking Huang Taiji to give an order, ordering all banners of the Han army to rush up immediately to defeat the artillery battalion of the new army, so if the bombardment continues, the banners of the Han army will definitely be defeated, it is better to take advantage of the fact that they can still meet the battle, and use tens of thousands of horses and horses of each banner of the Han army to change Liu Yan's artillery battalion!

Huang Taiji's face turned pale, and Dolgon and Duoduo's suggestion seemed reasonable, but it was a trap.

What is the color of the banners of the Han army, Huang Taiji knows very well in his heart, long-distance shooting may still be able to insist, to let those soldiers and horses charge against artillery fire, facing Liu Yanbu's bird array, the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses will definitely collapse directly, and when the tens of thousands of routs roll back, what will be the reaction of the Mongolian flags behind?

Huang Taiji knew too well in his heart that those Mongols would never fight to the death like before, but would retreat together.

Now in the hearts of the Mongolian banners, Huang Taiji is a "tyrant" who is about to die, and he only knows how to push the so-called descendants of Genghis Khan as cannon fodder; Hauge, on the other hand, is a fierce and courageous successor.

This father and son were not "good people" to the Mongols, so Dolgon and Duoduo were able to convince the Mongol banners to take advantage of Huang Taiji's serious illness to stand up and speak out against the enemy during the war!

So Huang Taiji said coldly: "Prince Mingrui and Prince Yu are on standby, don't worry about other things!" ”

Dolgon, who received Huang Taiji's reply, showed a smile on his face, at this time Duoduo actually broke away from his own military formation, came to the Chinese army of Manchurian Zhengbaiqi, and said to Dolgon: "Your Majesty is really calm, does he really think that today's Qing Tie."

Ride, can you still defeat Liu Yan's army of more than 100,000? ”

Dolgon said in a cold voice: "When Liu Yan led tens of thousands of elites to participate in the Battle of Jinzhou, this king had already seen that this person was no longer controllable. Now that Liu Yan has more than 100,000 elites under his command, and there is countless money and food in his hands, he doesn't have to worry about logistics and supplies at all, how can such a person defeat him? ”

"Humph! Our majesty is still not bold enough, although the Wuzhen Chaoha battalion has been formed in all banners of the Han army, which seems to be equipped with a large number of firearms, but those soldiers and horses of the Han army are all soft-footed shrimp, and they can't get on the table! ”

Duoduo said in agreement: "Yes, we should be like Prince Rui's proposal, the banners of the Han army should be fully firearmed, just like Liu Yan's new army, equipped with all kinds of powerful firearms, and then push these firearms of the Han army soldiers and horses to fight against the Ming army!" ”

Dolgon said disdainfully: "Now that there is no such thing, Your Majesty, he seems to reuse the Han people, and there are many Han people in the court when they are studying, but in his heart he is actually very defensive of the Han people, and even fearful, so he will never agree to this king's suggestion." ”

Dodor asked, "What ......about this battle?"

Dolgon whispered: "In this battle, you and I must leave hope for the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Ahead, the firepower of Qian Qiao's artillery battalion has weakened, and at the same time, the firepower of the banners of the Han army has also weakened a little, both sides have entered the peak period, the gunners of the artillery battalions on both sides have gone out to be killed and wounded, and the remaining gunners have been exhausted, after all, it is a very laborious thing to load the artillery of this era, not to mention the reloading under the blow of the enemy's firepower.

At this time, Qian Yan's face was black and gray, all of which were quilted

The smoke and smoke were smoking, and the armor and clothes on his body were dirty, as if he had just crawled out of the coal pile.

"Immediately report to the governor that the total ammunition of our artillery battalion rocket artillery has run out, and the general artillery of the red-coated artillery is overheating, and the shelling must be stopped immediately!"

"Yes."

After speaking, Qian Liang looked at the Han army's flag artillery teams in the distance, those two Tartars were no better, just now I had seen two artillery pieces exploding one after another, it is estimated that the artillery of the Han army's flags will be silent one after another soon.

"The Great War has just begun!"

After Liu Yan received Qian Yan's report, he immediately ordered all the red-coated artillery to stop firing, and ordered Qian Yan to withdraw all the red-coated cannons and rocket artillery vehicles, and the Huzun artillery and the Franco cannon decided when to retreat according to the fighters.

"Governor, after our artillery stops bombardment, it is estimated that the artillery fire of the banners of the Han army will not last long."

Liu Yan nodded, although the artillery of the Han army's flags were all imitation Franc cannons, but those Furlong cannons also needed to be cooled. Qian Liang can also use the alternate firing of rocket artillery vehicles, red-coat cannons, and Furlong machine guns to allow all kinds of artillery to have a window period of intermittent cooling, although it is a way to cure the symptoms but not the root cause, but it can also delay some time.

But the artillery teams of the various banners of the Han army are not good, and those gunners no longer care whether they are cooling down or not under the continuous attack of the new army's artillery battalion, they only hope to reload and shoot as soon as possible, as if only in this way can they ensure their safety and survive.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang in front of me, and I saw a Franc cannon of the Han army with a blue flag coming out of flames, and the cannon body was suddenly shrouded in flames, and the cannon body was blown into many pieces of iron

Shooting out in all directions, more than a dozen gunners around were instantly knocked down.

This is another artillery bombardment!

"Your Majesty, all the banners of the Han army have sent people to ask for orders, do you want to allow the artillery teams of all banners to stop shelling and wait for the artillery to cool down?"

At this time, in the Qing army, Huang Taiji looked at the front with a solemn face, and then said: "Order the banners of the Han army to stop shelling, and all the banners of the Han army to press on the soldiers and horses to attack the front army of Liu Yan's army." ”

"Order the Mongolian banners to follow up immediately, and after the Han army's banners are defeated and retreat, each banner will attack Liu Yan's department one by one, and order the warriors of each banner to fight to the death!"
